Recently, a 3D artist accidentally acquired a unique global treasure while purchasing an RTX 5090 graphics card on the second-hand market—the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC 30th Anniversary Edition, featuring a handwritten signature from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on the backplate.
The 3D artist revealed that he and his friend purchased two RTX 5090 graphics cards on the second-hand market for a 3D project. One of them was identified as the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC edition; initially, he thought the signature was from an ASUS executive.
However, upon opening the box for inspection, he was shocked to discover that the signer was Jensen Huang himself. He then compared the signature with the ASUS 30th Anniversary video and confirmed that this was indeed the graphics card personally showcased by Jensen Huang in the video.
The packaging of this graphics card had never been opened before, meaning the card remained brand new and unused. The buyer himself had never installed it into a computer.
After confirming the rarity of this graphics card, the user decided not to use it for its original 3D project and instead handed it over to an auction house.
According to the Bonhams auction house page, this graphics card will be up for online auction from October 4 to 14, 2026, with an estimated selling price between $10,000 and $15,000 (approximately RMB 67,100 to 100,650).
Considering that the current price of a standard RTX 5090 exceeds $5,000 (approximately RMB 33,550), and some special high-end overclocked versions are selling for nearly $10,000 (approximately RMB 67,100) in certain regions, the final transaction price for this one-of-a-kind version signed by Jensen Huang is likely to far exceed estimates.
This graphics card was specially created by ASUS to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Jensen Huang personally showcased this card at last year's ASUS 30th Anniversary event. It features a white triple-fan design and bears Jensen Huang's signature along with his iconic "RTX ON!" message on the backplate.
